She had to at least symbolically fight him. She just couldn’t throw in the towel and admit defeat. She had to fight him honestly and fairly. She could only hope that this abnormal fellow showed some mercy and wasn’t too ruthless…
Bai Rongrong was self-aware of her own situation; she had already resigned herself to fate.
The eyes of many of those present fell on Bai Rongrong. They all expected that this Bai Rongrong would lose. A girl was able to win sympathy from others, especially this Bai Rongrong who was always diligent in her cultivation. If the one who met such a calamity this time was a boy, chances were that most people would have the feeling of taking pleasure in other’s misfortune.
“Have you decided?” The deacon asked.
“Mmm, I’ve decided.” Lin Ming replied. “I have a question though. Are there any restrictions on the time setting of this challenge?”
“The time is decided yourself, but preferably within a month. If your ranking falls out of the top 80, then you also lose the qualifications to challenge.”
“I see… thank you Deacon Senior Apprentice.”
“You’ve chosen? I need the name to report to the Heavenly Abode elder responsible for these matters.”
“Mmm. I’ve chosen. The time is in one month. As for who…” Lin Ming turned his head. He lifted his spear and pointed it directly at a man who was staring at him with narrowed eyes, “I choose Zhu Yan!”
Zhu Yan!?
Everyone who heard this name froze. Especially Bai Rongrong, whose face filled with an incredulous expression of disbelief.
The entire ashlar square fell into absolute silence.
The one this Lin Ming chose was… Zhu Yan!?
Many people at first thought they heard wrong, but looking at who Lin Ming’s spear was pointed at, it was clearly directed at Zhu Yan!
Provocation!
Challenging someone at spear point! This was simply unconcealed provocation!
Ranked 32, Zhu Yan! This Lin Ming just wouldn’t stop astonishing everyone!
“This Lin Ming… he’s just… he’s gone insane!” Murong Zi’s lips twitched. She mumbled, “No… I’m the crazy one. If this Lin Ming is crazy, and he does crazy things and creates crazy miracles, then if he is not crazy, I am crazy.”
Bai Jingyun was also amazed. This Lin Ming was bold! What courage! He was prepared to surpass Zhu Yan in one month!
